Re: Re: houseplants

What kind of spider plants do you have? Have you seen the ones that are curly?
I think they are really cool looking.

  I don't have Sue's talent for indoor gardening, so I stick w/ snake
  plants, spider plants, aloe, Christmas cactus and I do have one African
  violet that Jesse gave me that I haven't managed to kill yet, I'm happy
  to say. Dakota - I'm in East Texas.
